Plains Indians Regalia and Customs by Bad Hand. An all new and unique look at Plains Indian clothing , regalia and habits. 95% of all of the 100's of illustrations and text have never been published before or brought together under one cover. It is a straight forward, historically accurate , but perhaps a bit politically incorrect version of what life on the Plains was like in the 18th-19th centuries.

Signed copies from the author are available with a personal note and additional color photos for $49.95 + $6.00 postage and handling. Postage outside of USA is $30.00. Send payment via PayPal to badhand@badhand.org , or send check or money order to : Bad Hand; POB 132; Deadwood, Or; 97430

"Thru the various mediums I use, whether it be
my book, "Daily Life in a Plains Indian Village", lecturing,
making
replicas,
or
doing
films,
I
try
to share with
people my enthusiasm for and knowledge of the 18th & 19th
Century Plains Indian culture. Bringing it to life
in living color, smells and textures helps all people
feel in touch with that culture. I believe it reminds
people of all races that we share the same roots .
. . we all lived in a tribe at one time, living in
and with nature. We all had chiefs and shamans and
lived in large extended family units. For most cultures
and races that way of life is many centuries removed
and little remains of their material culture, religions,
and beliefs. I feel that all races have perhaps a collective
memory of those times and thereby feel a connection
with early Native American culture. Helping people
feel and make that connection is one of the focuses
of my life . . . ."
